The Obligatory Post-loss Bruce Pearl thread (merged)

WE never have and probably will not.

Ernie and Bernie want to punch you in your face.

You make MikeHamiltonFan look like Einstein.

Internet tough guys usually resort to comments like this. Never actual debate on the topic.

 

[King Webbsticles]

Any evidence in those 8 yet? That's all I said.

You are challenging Martin's ability to coach, but you choose to ignore Pearl's struggles with smaller schools as well, not to mention the talent difference between teams.


If you honestly can not see the difference in talent levels between this UT team and last year then you are a damn idiot.

 

[emainvol]

emain knows his stuff. Best to surrender and retreat. He used to school me all the time when I was in man-love with Pearl, and the #1 Pearl Slurper around here....

Careful, you are feeding my Internet Tough Guy Boner.

Well, except for that part where I did, and the best thing you could come up with was "Internet Tough Guy."

What it sounds like to me. JMHO

Come on Osis.... can you really hear him... if you can I want a computer like you got

I always knew Mom liked you best.... LOL JK

Quiet, Internet Tough Guy.

And Martin has been the coach for 8 games, big difference.

NO< your wrong, If he knew how to coach we would have a better record. WE hired a coach and this guy is not a coach.

You are reaching.

If you are seriously going to give me crap for a typo, you need to learn proper English. The word is "you're"

 

[UT IE 95]

You are *****ing about a coach losing to Austin Peay, and defending a guy who lost to Charleston and Charlotte with more talent. You can be mad at Martin, that's reasonable, but your ridiculous and hypocritical argument isn't.

Pearl was fired and should have been. I've never thought Pearl should be the coach after last season. But comparing Pearl to Martin is expected, and frankly reasonable.

And then you did it again.....

If you are going to belittle someone for a spelling mistake, I would make sure my posts were devoid of them. Especially for more than one post.

It is, and I understand it. Saying that this loss is somehow worse than Pearl's team getting waxed by Charleston or putting up a whopping 48 on Charlotte isn't.

All reasonable points. No one isn't expecting them to be compared.

 

[knowthevols]

You mean players like one of the best players in UT history? Or an extremely talented center? Or one of the best defenders I have seen at UT? Tell me which of those this team has.

Go Back and read your own post from last year.

 

[mgv]

They lost to Charleston and Charlotte last year with a roster that was about 100 times better. Are you guys serious with this crap?

I would actually make a case that this team isn't as bad as you say, at least 100 times. If you take Tobias out of the picture, there isn't a huge discrepancy in talent between Melvin-Golden, Maymon-Williams, and from what I see of McRae in the last 4 games he can disappear from a game just as well as Hopson. Offensively this team seems to be able to shoot about as well, defensively they are pitiful, which is supposed to be Martin's calling card.

My screen is in Braile. Got me on that one. LOL:whistling:

 

[willieboy]

Better yet a popup everytime someone comes into the forum.

This Austin Peay team was 1 and 9. How do you explain this loss by a team that played Memphis to a tie? Martin has them going in the wrong direction doesn't he? This loss is on the Coaches. Like I said before I hope Martin is better than Pearl, but it is highly unlikely. I hope I never sink to the level of calling for a coach to be fired. On the other hand I still have enormous doubts about this staffs ability to coach in the SEC.

This team has less talent than last. But that is no excuse for losing to AP.

 

[VolFan_N_NC]

Where are they now?

Are you really trying to argue that Chris Lofton wasn't a great player?? I understand you're trying to win an arguement, but that is just damn stupid to say.

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

Awp, willieboy is back to celebrate the loss.

I love Lofton. He excelled in Pearl's system beyond anyone's expectations.

 

[willieboy]

Bruce had his chance and he f'd it up. Move on!

Yes being the best coach in UT history and accomplishing historical levels of success is really f'ing up.
